Climate Change SIG Annual Meeting 2026 | Stella Wimmer: die Faktoren aus, die für die totholz-assoziierten Gemeinschaften eine Rolle spielen

Wenn wir über Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf den Wald sprechen und der Gemeinschaften, die ihn bewohnen, dann sprechen wir meist von Veränderungen in einem großen Maßstab: Erderwärmung, die Veränderung der globalen Niederschlagsregimes, eine zunehmende Häufung der Wetterextreme. Doch diese großen Veränderungen entsprechen nicht zwangsläufig den Bedingungen, die von einer Käferlarve wahrgenommen werden, welche sich im Totholz entwickelt. Für sie mag das Makro-Klima nicht die größte … Continue reading Climate Change SIG Annual Meeting 2026 | Stella Wimmer: die Faktoren aus, die für die totholz-assoziierten Gemeinschaften eine Rolle spielen
